Biography[CV]
I will join Wuhan University in 2025. Before that, I was a senior research scientist on the video generation team at Bytedance. And I spent two wonderful years as a research scholar at the EECS Department of UC Merced, advised by Prof. Ming-Hsuan Yang. I finished my Ph.D. and M.E. degrees at The Chinese University of Hong Kong (supervised by Prof. Jiaya Jia) and the Institute of Automation of The Chinese Academy of Sciences (supervised by Prof. Hong Qiao). I obtained a B.E. degree in Automation and a B.S. dual degree in Financial Mathematics from Shandong University in 2014.
I am an area chair of many top conferences, such as ICML2025, NeurlPS2024, ICLR2024/2025, and AAAI2023/2024/2025. My research interests cover the unified model of low-level vision, generation, and open-world recognition.
I am looking for Master's, PhD, and Postdoctoral candidates to join Wuhan University in 2025. Additionally, self-motivated interns or visiting students are welcome for opportunities in collaborated cooperations and at UC Merced.
